The published hours are noon to 9 pm from Sunday to Thursday and noon to 10.30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. On 24 December it closes at 5 pm, and it is closed on 25 December. The tourism office's general events list ends on 24 December instead, so check again if you plan to visit after Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can I do in Arras if it rains?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guide suggests shortening the outdoor circuit and making a warm meal the centre of the day. The Boves and the Wellington Tunnels are indoor options, but both need a booked departure, and the Boves are cool and not accessible with a wheelchair or pushchair. Weather can also close the belfry. A short ground-level architecture walk or an earlier return to your accommodation are fallbacks that need no booking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I visit Arras without a car?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All six routes start from Gare d'Arras on Place du Maréchal Foch. The free Ma Citadine shuttle runs Monday to Saturday, excluding public holidays, from 7 am to 8 pm, roughly every twelve minutes. It does not run on Sundays or late in the evening, so the guide shows you how to plan your way back after the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the guide available in other languages?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. You can choose the English, Spanish or German edition. The content follows the same research, and each edition is a separate PDF download.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Tabiara the organiser of the market?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Tabiara is an independent publisher and has no partnership with the city, the tourism office or the venues mentioned.
